    <p>Using categories would be the most logical taxonomy in ExpressionEngine for your needs and provide you with the desired URL structure.</p> <p>By default, the ExpressionEngine URL category segments look like this:</p> <pre><code>/index.php/template_group/template_name/CategoryID </code></pre> <p>Using your example, you'd create a <a href="http://expressionengine.com/user_guide/cp/admin/content_admin/category_management.html" rel="nofollow">Category Group</a> with the following Categories:</p> <ul> <li>Videos</li> <li>Shows</li> <li>Awards</li> </ul> <p>Many Developers name their template groups to match the channel name, which makes <a href="http://expressionengine.com/user_guide/general/urls.html" rel="nofollow">understanding ExpressionEngine URLs</a> logical.</p> <p>Out of the box, your URL segments would look like this:</p> <pre><code>/index.php/channel-name/template-name/C1 </code></pre> <p>I would recommend setting a <a href="http://expressionengine.com/user_guide/cp/admin/content_admin/global_channel_preferences.html" rel="nofollow">Category URL Indicator</a>, so you can use an identifier (e.g. <code>category</code>) in your URLs for your categories instead of the unsemantic Category IDs.</p> <p>The category URLS would then be something like:</p> <pre><code>/index.php/channel-name/category/videos </code></pre> <p>Taking this a step further, by <a href="http://expressionengine.com/user_guide/general/remove_index.php.html" rel="nofollow">removing index.php from ExpressionEngine URLs</a>, you could achieve:</p> <pre><code>/channel-name/category/videos </code></pre> <p>As you'll find out in ExpressionEngine, the flexibility of the URLs and templates allows for many ways of organizing and displaying your data.</p> <p>For example, you could use <em>Tags</em> instead of <em>Categories</em> for grouping your data, but you'd need to use a third-party Add-On, since tagging is not included as a core feature of ExpressionEngine.</p> <p>The <a href="http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/tag" rel="nofollow">Solspace Tag Module</a>, DevDemon's <a href="http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/tagger" rel="nofollow">Tagger</a> and Jamie Rumbelow's <a href="http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/taggable" rel="nofollow">Taggable</a> are all three suitable candidates.</p>
